Canada great white shark (1988)

According to the Canadian Shark Research Center, the world’s largest accurately measured great white was 20 feet in length. This was a female caught in 1988 at Canada’s Prince Edward Island. It is caught by the local fisherman David McKendrick. The shark became tangled in McKendrick’s net as he fished off the western side of the island, and died before it was brought to the surface. A large female, the shark was a rarity in the northern seas.
